TMNT + Friday Poll = Awesome - Pictures of the Day March 18th

I know, I know, it's getting late and I should have done this much earlier but today got busy.  Busy in a good way but still very busy.  Ok, what's today's topic? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, specifically which one was the best.  I can hear you now "But Phil, Raphael is clearly the best around.  Nothing is ever gonna keep him down."  I know but I still have to do this so those other losers know why they're wrong.  So here it goes and I'm gonna keep this quick because of the lack of time before the Friday Poll closes.  Oh yeah, you can vote over at http://www.susanfujiki.com/ The poll is on the right hand side.

Donatello -
Donatello is the scientist, inventor, engineer & peace maker who wears the purple mask and uses the bo staff.  Well science boy, while the rest of the turtles are kicking some ass, except Michelangelo, all you are thinking about is how to get out of the fight.  I don't think being a sissy turtle was in the job description of mutant ninja turtle so for that you cannot be the best turtle. 

Michelangelo -
Michelangelo was the relaxed surfer funny guy of the group.  He wore the orange mask and wielded a pair of nun chucks.  Ok, so Michelangelo is better than Donatello.  At the very least he didn't mind mixing it up a bit but he was so damn lazy.  It's fight time, where's Michelangelo? On his ass eating pizza, that's where he was.  It's this lack of commitment that makes him not even close to being the best.

Leonardo-

Leonardo wore the blue mask and wields two katana.  Ok, Leonardo is one kick ass fighter.  One bad ass dude but he's just too serious.  Ease up a bit and you would be the best.  In fact, if he eased up a bit he would be Raphael.

Raphael

Raphael is the perfect ninja turtle wearing his red mask and wielding his matching pair of sai.  He is a fierce fighter, extremely loyal, hard working & still has a sense of humor.  Raphael is the total ninja turtle package and so he clearly is the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
